TRIP TO MAUI. 



In response to a letter from Mr. W. A, Clarke, manager of Grove 

 Eanch, and a wireless message from Mr. S. A. Baldwin, manager of 

 Haleakala Eanch, I left for Maui on May 2, to investigate a supposed 

 outbreak of blackleg among the calves on the Haleakala Ranch and 

 influenza or equine distemper among the horses on Grove Ranch. 



No determination could be arrived at re: the cause of death among 

 the calves as there Avas no material for post-mortem examination and 

 no new cases developed during my stay on the island. 



The trouble among the horses was diagnosed as a combination of 

 hemorrhagic septicemia and influenza. All cases found were segregated, 

 vaccinated and otherwise treated. As the treated animals were making 

 good recoveries and no new cases developing, I returned to Honolulu 

 on May 12. No deaths occurred among the stock of the above two 

 ranches while I was on the island. 



While on Maui I treated the runner "Indian Spring," tested and 

 passed Mr. H. A. Baldwin's dairy herd and gave instructions re: the 

 treatment of two imported bulls on the Haleakala Eanch which were 

 developing actinomycosis. 



EPIZOOTIC LYMPHANGITIS. 



A case of epizootic lymphangitis among the plantation work stock on 

 On Young's pineapple plantation at Kunia was reported to this oflice 

 by Lieut. Sperry of Schofield Barracks. 



In company with the Assistant Territorial Veterinarian and Lieut. 

 Sperry, I investigated the case and, verified the diagnosis. As the dis- 

 ease w^as just starting the animal was isolated and treatment outlined. 

 Lieut. Sperry was instructed to report to this office the results of the 

 treatment. If a cure cannot be established the animal will be de- 

 stroyed.
